Junior Seau fell victim to a problem encountered by many former pro athletes — post-career depression — this according to former pro athlete-turned-actorRick Fox.
Fox tells TMZ, retiring from a professional sport leads to a massive shift in lifestyle — from glorified hero to relative anonymity — and for some players, the change is too tough to handle.
Fox tells us, “At the end of the day [Junior] shot himself in the chest, which is the heart, and a lot of people die of a broken heart when they leave the game.”x
